Princess Aiko™ – Exclusive Japanese rose, now for the first time in Europe!
The Princess Aiko™, also known as Beloved, is a unique Japanese garden rose originally bred for the Empress of Japan. Belle Epoque is proud to offer this rare rose exclusively as a 2-year-old plant in Europe.
The flowers open in a refined play of colors of bright peach with soft shades of cream and light pink. Thanks to the globe-shaped flower structure with no fewer than 120 petals, Princess Aiko™ retains its elegant form for up to 80% of the bloom. The glossy, dark green leaves form a beautiful contrast with the flowers and enhance its luxurious appearance.
With a height between 80 and 140 cm, this is a compact but strong shrub rose that is excellent for borders, solitary use, or in stylish combinations with other Japanese roses. Because the Princess Aiko™ is still new in Europe, 2025/2026 will be the first year in which enthusiasts can discover its growth dynamics in our climate.
Belle Epoque offers only 40 plants, making this introduction a unique opportunity for collectors and garden lovers who want something special.

Roses in pots
A potted rose is a rose plant that has already been grown in a pot and is delivered with a well-developed root system. These roses are ready to be planted directly in the garden or in a larger pot, without having to wait for root growth. This makes the potted rose ideal for planting throughout the year, especially from May through October.
Roses with bare roots
Bare-root roses – also called root roses – are rose plants delivered without a pot or soil. These roses are dormant and can be planted directly in open ground. The best time to plant a root rose is in autumn or early spring, when the soil is still moist and the temperature mild.
At Belle Epoque we supply bare-root roses from November through April. Thanks to the well-developed root system and the right planting conditions, these roses grow vigorously into healthy and bloom-rich bushes or climbing roses.
Products are shipped directly from the nursery every Monday and Wednesday. By delivering only twice a week, we reduce logistical emissions and optimise our processes. This benefits both the quality of our products and the climate.
